Advanced laboratory for testing plasma thrusters and Hall thruster measurement campaign
Nukleonika, 2016 Plasma engines are used for space propulsion as an alternative to chemical thrusters. Due to the high exhaust velocity of the propellant, they are more efficient for long-distance interplanetary space missions than their conventional counterparts.

Effect of anode dielectric coating on Hall thruster operation [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2004 An interesting phenomenon observed in the near-anode region of a Hall thruster is that the anode fall changes from positive to negative upon removal of the dielectric coating, which is produced on the anode surface during the normal course of Hall thruster operation. The effect of the anode coating on the anode fall is studied experimentally using both
